US Patent 11263923 Vasculature models and associated systems and methods

Vasculature models and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the model comprises a tube including a lumen extending therethrough, a synthetic thrombus including a magnetic component, and a magnetized member. The thrombus is sized to be positioned within the lumen, and the magnetized member is positioned peripheral to the thrombus such that a radially outward force is exerted on the thrombus via the magnetized member. The tube may be part of a network of tubes that generally resemble human neurovasculature.
